Can use different ideas, am starting with left/right. If you would like to use a different agenda please open a new page and go for it. We start with the assumption that 90-100% of funding on this subject is simply pored down the drain, most of it into pointless NGO projects and #fashernista individuals “careers”…
Social media is a drug, we need to stop the self/movement harm now #OMN
Facebook is nothing to do with anarchy, it was set up to sell people’s attention to advertisers, so it’s actually about social control as are all #dotcons #failbook algorithms are defined to create divisions and arguments, so best not to talk about core activist things on here. Just give the clear, simple outreach messages…
The is such a thing as society
“The is such a thing as society” we need to build our tools for this anti “common sense” statement. The advantage of “governance” of the #fediverse (which it needs if it is to become a part of our #openweb based society that is essential for social change/challenge in the era of #climatechaos) is that the…
Been takeing part in online #openweb events – and resisting the urge to bite people.
Looking at this event https://2021.ngiforum.eu Way to meany stuffed shirts, technological fantasists (blockchain) and a lot of #EU money what could go wrong… Spent a hour looking through the list of participants opening in new tab all that said something interesting. Of these more than 2/3’s had the tag blockchain so closed them, and then…
Knight foundation and its impact on grassrots media and the #openweb
Dropped into the events for this https://knightcolumbia.org/events/reimagine-the-internet if you won’t an example of pouring hundreds of millions of $$$ down the drain the Knight foundation is it. This is normal, but by doing this they shaped the agender of the #openweb for the last 10 years, this is a problem, a BIG problem, they need…
The geekproblem – humanity’s and science
Coding projects that come from the humanity’s general fail as they are not technically coherent and build out from abstract ideas without real relevance to lived humanity, they are too disconnected to become relevant to communertys of use. Coding from science tend to fail because they are inhuman, and are built for mashions. They serve…
From chaos comes order
“You first need to discover as much as possible relevant items within the desired domain, meaning that everything needs to be discoverable (i.e. it needs to be made available and be accessible, but also the right structure and metadata need to be in place for everything to be properly indexed and categorised)” The #OMN is…
If we close everything we are left with the evil, a bad outcome
What do you think *should* be closed? Or at least is OK to be closed? Let’s start from a traditional liberal view: The majority of social interactions should be done in the OPEN and some private interactions should be done CLOSED. We can discuss from this. What the current dogma misses is that just about…
A talk goes off topic – what is an #ecryptionist is illustrated.
Q. Grumpy old geeks have a valid point of view http://scripting.com/2021/04/02/145549.html?title=pleadingForStallman Pleading for Stallman A. but no TLS. Q. this is a valid point of view too http://scripting.com/2014/08/08/myBlogDoesntNeedHttps.html My blog doesn’t need HTTPS A. It’s a valid point that Google and Amazon have monopolist interests and are trying to enforce them. Nevertheless, TLS is an…
If you look at contemporary programming
I don’t think our coders have ANY understanding of the damage they have done and are doing. The state is full of monsters. In closed the monsters can plot and destroy/divide and control because there is no way to make a judgment you cannot have social “truth” in closed. With open the monster are more…
The “cloud” is just a big corporate run data centre that can and will burn down
You do realize that all our data is HORRIBLY centralized and thus could vanish at any moment, come the revolution/evolution/ #climatechaos tsunamis. Our end plan in the #OMN is that all the content is redundantly stored in the network in a #KISS way, so traditional backup is less important -when it goes wrong, and it…
